Seems like it rides pretty terrible after the lift. Still using air suspension? They dont seem to do well in the higher positions or aftermarket pushing them up further.

What is the offset of your wheel? Btw love this Defender, I also want to have the 18 instead of 20” wheel but not sure if it fits the front.

So 35s fit on the stock Defender with no modifications? I just got a 2024 and would love to get a set of 35s with smaller wheels for off-roading it EDIT NVM he lifted it...

Why is each car recorded from a different perspective? The recordings should be from the same place so that you can see how these cars behave. It doesn't make sense to record each car from a different perspective.

Three builds ago on just 35’s. Yes. That one had a rear locker. This is before we started removing the rear sway bar
@shawtravis738410 ай бұрын
So when JLR quote the ground clearance for the new Defender - it is when the suspension is fully jacked up and there is zero suspension articulation, as demonstrated here.
@cotrails835610 ай бұрын
Correct. We have completely different setup on our latest build with 37’s. Huge plans for the next one in 2024 with 615 HP and 39’s
